Some of our Murwillumbah branch members had their monthly social outing at a music group called Shine on Wollumbin recently on a Wednesday morning.. Every week at the local Condong bowling club there is a fantastic music singalong group. The band is fantastic and they play music from the 1950’s-1980’s or thereabouts.  Books are provided on the table with the words of the songs so everyone in the group can sing . It’s open to older people who want to have a little bit of fun and love singing or music . Morning tea is provided and it’s always scrumptious.

A fun morning was had by our members as they joined in the singing or the conga style dance. We sang loud and proud. I didn’t know one of our members was such a good singer and another
can dance fantastically. Just shows CWA ladies have all kinds of skills thank you for attending ladies. It’s a fantastic group and you’re welcome back any time.

Here are the results of our craft night that I posted recently. This is what happens when the local Murwillumbah show society asks CWA Members to make display chickens to decorate the enclosure at this year’s show. They have also asked lots of other groups and members of the public to make some chickens. Can’t wait to see those ones too on the weekend of the show.

Here are some of the chooks our members made. Just goes to show everybody’s imagination is so different. Maybe one day one of these chickens can go on display at Goma (Queensland Gallery of Modern Art) in Brisbane. It was such fun making them even if I did get glue and feathers everywhere. They went a bit rogue and tried to walk in the door and disrupt our CWA meeting the other day .😀

Great craft night at Murwillumbah CWA this afternoon. We were doing paper mache chickens. They will be given to our local show in October to put in the chicken area as decorations. This is just stage one they have to dry and be decorated. Marisa, Bronwyn, Marie and Kathie had a fun time. We missed our members that could not be there.  Took us back to our childhood paper mache making at school.

Our FNC Group International Day was a resounding success. Congratulations to Bronwyn, our International Officer, who put so much effort & thought into the day, the decorations, catering, activities & guest speakers who were so enlightening about Fiji & their lived experiences there. Thank you to all the Branches in the far north coast who were able to attend & share in the celebration.

Murwillumbah CWA and friends enjoyed a nice outing to the Mockingbird Cafe at Kingscliff recently. Food was absolutely scrumptious. The staff at the Cafe were lovely. Member Marlene gave everyone a small Christmas in July gift of some of her yummy lemon butter. Thank you Marlene that was delightful. If you have lemon butter at home try it on toast. It is great.

Those looking for somewhere to go for brunch I can say the Mockingbird Cafe at Kingscliff is absolutely worth a visit.

Some members of Murwillumbah CWA attended the Far North Coast Group July Council meeting yesterday in Ballina. Linda, Sandra, Michelle, Marisa & Kathie. It was a most informative and interesting meeting. Lots of agenda items to get through. Our Group Committee members run a great meeeting.

The CWA Ballina Branch NSW were fantastic hosts. The morning tea and lunch was absolutely delicious and displayed lovely. I tried the Broccoli soup (and I'm famous for not eating greens). It was yummy as. Walking back to the car at the end of the day I was nearly blown away by the wind it was so strong at Ballina. At one point it pushed me along 🤣😂🤣.
